- Big Stat
- New Hampshire is leading the conference this year in three-point defense and this weekend's game versus Binghamton was no exception. The Bearcats were shutout from beyond the arc, missing on all 12 attempts. That is a testament to the focus New Hampshire puts on shutting down the outside game.
- Supporting Cast
- Jordan Reed had another nice game to add to his rookie resume at Binghamton. On 7-13 shooting from the field, Reed racked up 18 points and six rebounds to lead his squad. For New Hampshire, Chandler Rhoads netted 15 points to go with five assists and five steals.

- Top Performer
- Tommy Brenton (SBU): 15 points (5-7 FG; 5-9 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals
- Big Stat
- Maine struggled from the free throw line in this one, finishing just 8-24 from the charity striped. Paired with Stony Brook's solid shooting throughout (45% FG, 41.2% 3FG), the Black Bears weren't able to close the gap in the end.
- Supporting Cast
- Eric McAlister had a career-high of 22 points on 8-11 shooting from the field for Stony Brook. For Maine, Zarko Valjarevic notched seven three-pointers, tying him with Jacob Iati of Albany for the single-game high this season. Justin Edwards also had 19 points and 13 boards for the Black Bears.

- Making History
- Brenton's triple-double was the first in the America East since 2005. His 11 assists are the fifth highest single-game total in Stony Brook history. He went over 1,000 career rebounds in the game, becoming just the eighth player in conference history to do so. Oh an he made the pass on an alley-oop that was the No. 5 play on Sportscenter's Top 10 plays. Not a bad night for Mr. Brenton.
Vermont 50, at Albany 43: Box/Recap/Highlights
- Top Performer
- Clancy Rugg (UVM): 14 points (6-8 FG; 0-1 3FG; 2-3 FT) 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block
- Big Stat
- Vermont followed the method laid out by Binghamton earlier this year to shut down Albany's backcourt duo of Mike Black and Jacob Iati. In that game, the Bearcats limited the Great Danes' duo to 3-22 shooting from the field. On Saturday, the Catamounts help Black and Iati to 3-24 shooting. A big effort from the Vermont defense.
- Supporting Cast
- The Catatmounts only had four players score for them the entire game, so the contributions of Sandro Carissimo (13 pts), Ethan O'Day (13 pts) and Candon Rusin (10 pts) were pretty important. Black fought his way to 13 points for Albany while John Puk had a very efficient performance, notching 12 points on 6-7 shooting.

- Big Stat
- It was an eight point game at the half, but Albany turned up the defensive pressure in the final 20. Outscoring the Catamounts 34-15, the Great Danes held their opposition to just 15.4 percent shooting in the second half, led by Henry and her six steals.
- Supporting Cast
- Shereesha Richards was the only other player to reach double-figures on the day, as she used a 6-7 shooting performance to notch 12 points. For the Catamounts, Niki Taylor and Kayla Burchill both had six points.
- Making History
- Ebone Henry became Albany's all-time leading scorer in the victory, a pretty big deal to those of us that count things. Henry was much more even keel in her reaction: "Offense just sells tickets," she said. "Defense wins championships."
